Tensions were running high Wednesday evening in downtown Indianapolis as protesters both for and against abortion met in demonstrations at Monument Circle.

The crowd of at least 500 people was made up mostly of pro-abortion rights activists, with about 25 anti-abortion protesters. Police blocked off nearby streets as the two groups converged at close distances, sometimes yelling at each other.

The pro-abortion rights group chanted “abortion ban has got to go” and “we stand with Roe”, while the anti-abortion group chanted “we are the pro-life generation and we will abolish abortion.”

Anna Benz, 35, of Castleton, said Wednesday was the first protest she has ever attended.
